How to Update Old Ceramic Jars with Spray Paint.

Well, it may be a little different for every author, because of course there are those that write the book first and then “shop” it around to different publishers.In my case, the publisher reached out to me to see if writing a book would be something that I would be interested in, and we started building the concept for the book from there..

When the editor at the publisher first emailed me, of course I was excited and felt pretty honored that she/they had read my blog and felt that my writing style and what I wrote about would be fitting for an actual real, live book.We scheduled a time to chat on the phone about the book idea a little bit more, and my impression was honestly that she would be kind of trying to sell me on the idea of writing a book for them and letting me know what that would entail and it would just be up to me to either say “yes” or “no”.. Ha!.The first call was almost like an interview for me, which in retrospect makes sense, because they want to be sure I’m an actual person, with an actual passion for what I’m going to write about.

They wanted to know a little bit about my story and my background, and if I had any other interests besides the main subject for the book, and of course what made me so interested in writing a book on this subject, which was homekeeping/cleaning tips.I was really surprised though, as I thought that I would mostly be listening rather than talking on this call, so I kind of had to gather my thoughts quickly on the spot and then “sell” myself a little bit.

I didn’t think I’d have to do much talking or “selling myself” because they really have access to a huge amount of my writing on my blog, and I just kind of thought that would speak for itself.

There was a second call about a week or so later where we were supposed to talk about some ideas for concepts and things like that, and by that time I knew a little more about what to expect, so I came prepared!Gathering Greenery From Your Backyard for Christmas DecorDoes anyone ever use baby powder on babies anymore?
